"The Michelle Bachmans and Glenn Becks of the World are trying to get the President killed."

I could not agree more.

These people are demented and the way that they are spewing venom against Obama is proving how little they want to see any good come out of his Presidency. They are willing to undermine this nation just to see him fail.

The crux of his argument was that these kooks create artificial wedge issues (witnessed here daily) that promote panic and misunderstanding. "Pulling the plug on Granny", "Death Panels" and so on. Turning it into an "us against them" ultimatum, and spinning these crazy stories to make their idiot followers feel threatened (also seen here daily.) He said it much more eloquently and I'm paraphrasing; I'm sure a youtube clip will be up in a day or so.

One look no further than their reaction to Kennedy's death from brain cancer where they rose up and squealed with glee for days on end. They celebrated his death. Anybody who thinks this mindset is exclusive to Ted Kennedy it sadly mistaken.

It's no secret that the Glenn Becks of the world make money by creating a false threat and then capitalizing on the fear of that threat. However what makes their rhetoric so irresponsible and malicious is that anybody with half a brain knows that people like John Salvi exist and only need a nudge to explode. Of course if this ever were to happen they'd condemn the act immediately and pull the "awe shucks" card.

When someone makes a movie about him being assassinated while he's currently in office, I'll agree with you but, until then venom spewing from someone in the media is nothing unusual and hasn't qualified for "trying to get the president killed" in the past.

Apparently it's not enough to be called a racist if you disagree with President Obama. Now, if you disagree you are attempting murder. The rhetoric from the left just keeps ratcheting up more and more into feverish rants because they aren't getting their way. You folks keep up with the delusions. It's that type of thinking from your leaders that has gotten you into the mess you are in with Obama's approval rating dropping like a rock and the American public turning against your policies.

You whine and kvetch about everything under the sun now that it's your guy that's stepping in it left and right. You blame the right while you have a majority in Congress, the Senate, and your guy is President.

Go ahead and pass all of these crappy bills, you have the votes to do it. What are you afraid of, a backlash from the public? The public that your leaders think are nothing more than idiots and shouldn't be allowed to express their opinions.
